DO NOT REPOST
This year, a friend of mine from tumblr wrote a short AU fic for FMA Big Bang, and she asked me to provide an illustration. It's my first time participating, but it was fun! (I'd never drawn Berthold before ;w; ) The passage pertaining to this illustration is in the first chapter:

…a door opened and a lovely young lady stepped out. She was about the same height as Roy, short cropped gold hair, big brown eyes and wearing working clothes- a plain, pale blue blouse, a dark brown skirt that fell below her knees, and a stained apron. She was carrying a basket of laundry and paused to talk to Master Hawkeye.

“I gathered up all the linens and beat the rugs while you were out, father. I’m going to start on dinner soon, will your guest be joining us?”

Wait, this beautiful girl was Miss Hawkeye? He was expecting someone with a long face and sunken eyes like the man he was now apprenticed to, not this pretty girl in servant’s clothes.

“Riza, this is my new apprentice. He’ll be staying indefinitely with us while I train him, so yes- he’ll be joining us.” He glared at Roy, reminding him wordlessly about his threat to kill him if he ever touched his daughter. “This is Mr. Roy Mustang. 

Apparently he saved Raven’s life with a spell and now I’m being paid to teach him. Mr. Mustang, this is my daughter, Riza.

Her eyes met his and she curtseyed toward him. “Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mustang.”

Roy bowed toward her slightly. “The honor is mine, I assure you, Miss Hawkeye.”

The old sorcerer narrowed his eyes at both of them. “Do I need to remind you of our agreement, Mr. Mustang?”

Roy swallowed and shook his head vigorously. “No, sir.”

This is hilariously adorable. You better watch out Roy, those eyes mean business. It gets funnier when you know later Riza would adopt an even colder/stoic expression.

OohHHOhmhh YoU DREW ROYAIIII >w< 

Man, it's not a common thing to see people drawing Berthold! I really like it, and the passage seems really interesting. You made Roy look so cute and awkward, it's a side we don't see often and it NEEDS MORE ATTENTION DANG IT. Along with short haired Riza 

I don't know why, but the way you drew Berthold reminds me of a studio ghibli film. Something like No Face from Spirited Away? I dunno, all I know is that the red eye you added is perfect. X'D

yiss, that I did ^_^

I'm so glad you like the various aspects of the piece :'D and I think I know what you mean about Berthold! It's probably the towering-figure sort of look which is similar to No Face.

Sorry, I only do requests for friends.

I do offer kiriban prizes, though, and I do listen to suggestions for possible art on my tumblr.
